The two stars battled at Saturday Night’s Main Event last month at Madison Square Garden, and Valkyria emerged victorious. The Bird Lady unleashed another attack on the veteran following her victory.

Bayley has been absent since her loss to Valkyria at SNME and took to Instagram to share a video of herself training. Lee can also be seen training with the 37-year-old in the video below.

AJ Lee reacted to the video and suggested that the former leader of Damage CTRL was the greatest of all time. You can check out AJ’s comment in the image below.

“The GOAT,” she wrote.

Lee is married to Undisputed WWE Champion CM Punk in real life. Kevin Owens won a number one contender’s match at SummerSlam 2026 and will be challenging Punk for the title on the August 21 episode of SmackDown in Toronto.

AJ Lee comments on her WWE contract

AJ Lee recently shared a huge revelation about her contract with the promotion. The Geek Goddess returned after a decade away last year to team up with CM Punk to defeat Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch at WWE WrestlePalooza 2025.

Speaking on The Nikki & Brie Show at Fanatics Fest, Lee stated that she was being paid the same amount as Punk and noted that it was great to be treated like an equal.

“One of the things I fought for back in the day wasn’t just for equal footing. It was let’s get paid the way the men get paid. To know I’m signing this contract where I am getting paid the way my husband’s getting paid, where I’m being treated like an equal, it was a boss-ass moment, I’m not gonna lie,” she revealed.

Only time will tell when AJ Lee and Bayley will make their returns to WWE television.
